In Chrome, how do I get to the recently used tab?

Question

Say I've got many tabs open and I'm doing something on one of them. I now open a new tab (e.g. Ctrl+T).

I do some work there and then need to return to the previously viewed tab. How do I do that in Chrome?

Answer 1

There isn't a native keyboard shortcut to do it in Chrome, but there is an extension that (sort of) adds functionality to do this:

Recent Tabs Extension
Cycle through your most recently used tabs (MRU) like Alt+Tab, but, with the shortcut keys Ctrl+Q or Ctrl+`(~) or assign your own!
